So under what do you file "bright Sun" or "Style"?
I love the man's science books, but let's face it; his novels are on the dry, intellectual side. For sheer fun, you gotta go to Donald Kingsbury's Psychohistorical Crisis.
Not always. There were enough differences between the revisions to make some programs break. Then you add the C128 and it also added some differences.
The various C64s had different CPUs with different undocumented opcodes, and there were two revisions of the video chip and two of the sound chip (if not more).
the food eaten by the people working on making nuclear bombs is an item that can lead to proliferation. This is just scare-mongering to increase inspection of incoming parcels... so the government can charge import duties and taxes.
Oh, and we're protecting you from people who build nuclear bombs in their garage, yup.
Well then get that "we" to pay for it. Oh what's that? The market already spoke about that? I see.
" I'd do it once just for the fun of it"
It must be nice to have that amount of disposable income. In the meantime, us idiots are barely scraping by, my bank just automatically enrolled me into balance insurance because I no longer make enough money to cover my debts.
Two years ago I had an extremely high credit rating, tens of thousands of dollars in savings, and much more in my retirement plan. Now I'm months away from homelessness.
Wow, and what a big risk it was too. I wonder how thick his insurance policy is for those flights? One, two, maybe three inches thick? Wow yeah, these rich men risk NOTHING. You want to impress me with all this hollow rhetoric about "risk", get HIS ass to sit in the test flights.
You know, like the Wright Brothers?
Otherwise all this "risk" nonsense is just a bunch of PR you suckers repeat over and over to give yourselves the impression you could also become rich if you just took a risk!
You know, those risks that rich people avoid like the plague.
Then I wish these people would shut up with their precious advice about taking risks. The biggest talkers about taking risks are usually the ones surrounded by lawyers, accountants and twelve layers of bodyguards.

Pretty sure having working landing gear would have solved the problem.

How fast were you posting?
"Each has it's place, "
So does an apostrophe. That wasn't it.

Interesting game, Professor Falken. It seems the only winning move is not to play.
What troll? I live here. I know, I don't troll.
Global. Get it? GLOBAL warming. We've already blown up two cities with nuclear weapons and detonated 2000 over the course of the Cold War.
So your "likely doom scenario" is not orthogonal to GLOBAL warming. At all.
...watts of energy?
Worst: They're in Montreal, the capital of slack and corruption.
Design flaw(s).
OK, how about we not infringe your right to bear 17th century muskets as long as you make it yourself, make your own bullets and gunpowder?
"Getting the government involved [...] is stupid"...
then
"process for getting a warrant"
Eh what? From a private corporation I guess?
"then you go after people who purchase the material"
Who "you"? You and the horsemen of the free market????

What nonsense.
with the latest parameters for the Super Snapshot V5?
"We should do more of that."

What do you do for a living and can you teach me?
What do I care about the end of a billionaire's vanity project to fleece millionaires?
And what did those risks advance, exactly? By your definition I take a risk every time I cross the street or take the bus.
Wow, and what a big risk it was too. I wonder how thick his insurance policy is for those flights? One, two, maybe three inches thick? Wow yeah, these rich men risk NOTHING. You want to impress me with all this hollow rhetoric about "risk", get HIS ass to sit in the test flights.

Yeah well, all three of those people will just have to suck it up and wait like the rest of us. We already had Concorde and that died.
That may have been a goal in 1957, but in an era of instant communication, who cares?
